Can someone ID please.

[Athlon2k2]

Is this a Latrodectus geometricus

 

[Pulk]

looks more like L. hesperus to me...

 

[What]

Any chance of a better picture?

While it does indeed look like L. hesperus we can probably sex it and be more sure of the ID with a clearer picture...

It looks like a subadult male hesperus to me.

 

[Athlon2k2]

I should have some more pictures tomorrow. She has that enclosure pretty webbed up.

Here is a link to images of a subadult male hesperus:

It looks to me like there are two bulbous pedipalps in the image you posted.
Does your specimen's palps look like the one in the link, or am I seeing things?

 

[What]

I thought it looked like it had bulbous palps too, why I asked for clearer pics...

The pictures will tell the story.

 

[Athlon2k2]

Hope this is better.

 

[Athlon2k2]

It has two small black pedipalps and an orange hourglass on his belly

 

[Athlon2k2]

His pedipalps are not nearly as big as the one linked.

That sounds like an adult male to me. As an adult, the palps are much different than the one in link, although still bulbous. Don't forgot the linked spider is a subadult, as yours was prior to molt (if in fact a male).

Any 'facial' images or better view of palps to be sure?
